Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon Specialised in Medical Retina, Ocular Oncology, Cataract and Refractive Surgery, Oculoplastic and Reconstructive Surgery

General Ophthalmology

Comprehensive Care

Comprehensive care for a wide range of eye conditions, including cataracts, refractive errors, and retinal diseases.

Cataract Surgery

Advanced Cataract Surgery

– Removes the clouded lens (cataract) and replaces it with a clear artificial lens.


– Intraocular Lens (IOL) Options:

  – Monofocal Lenses: Provide clear vision at a single distance.

  – Multifocal and Extended Depth of Focus Lenses: Improve vision at multiple distances, reducing reliance on glasses.
 
– Toric Lenses: Correct astigmatism for sharper vision.

Refractive Surgery

1. LASIK and PRK
– Laser procedures to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
– Reduces or eliminates the need for glasses or contact lenses.

2. Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICLs)
– Provides permanent vision correction for patients unsuitable for laser surgery.
– Ideal for those with higher refractive errors or thin corneas.

Medical Retina Services

Diabetic Retinopathy
– A complication of diabetes that damages the retina and can lead to vision loss.

Treatment Options:


– Laser Therapy: Seals leaking blood vessels to prevent further damage.

– Anti-VEGF Injections: Reduce swelling and block abnormal blood vessel growth.

2. Retinal Vein Occlusion
– A blockage in the retinal veins causing swelling and vision loss.
– Treated with injections and laser therapy to restore retinal health.

3. Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
– A leading cause of vision loss in adults over 50, affecting the macula (the retina’s central area).
– Types:
  – Dry AMD: Gradual vision loss, managed with dietary supplements and regular monitoring.
  – Wet AMD: Rapid vision loss caused by abnormal blood vessels, treated with anti-VEGF injections.
– Early detection helps slow progression and preserve vision.

General Glaucoma Management

– Regular monitoring of intraocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage.

– Treatments include medications to lower eye pressure and laser therapies to improve fluid drainage and protect vision.
